For those who may have missed it earlier. Dizzy rolling back the years on the dinner break on BT

 

[Starfighter]

Oh boy.

 

[Burgey]

Oh Dizzy

 

[mackembhoy]

Only pair to score any runs though last season.

Which makes no sense when you see the horrible techniques

 

[Starfighter]

Yes Mark, I've been asking for that for ages. No one seems to bowl a proper yorker these days.

 

[stephen]

I have no idea how Handscomb doesn't tread on his stumps every innings.

 

[Starfighter]

I'd like to see him face Neil Wagner.

 

[SeamUp]

That Handscomb shot reminded me of French cricket.

Yes Mark, I've been asking for that for ages. No one seems to bowl a proper yorker these days.

Joel Garner would have certainly ended Handscomb's career.

I actually don’t think a Yorker would be that effective against Handscomb tbh.

 

[Burgey]

Joel Garner would have certainly ended Handscomb's career.

He ended a few players a lot better than Pete. But I don’t think he’d have done it with his Yorker. He’s so deep in his crease and his weight is back - if he was a bloke looking to press forward more I think it would be more effective.

 

[fredfertang]

Broad to replace Woakes please Joe

 

[Spark]

Joel Garner would have certainly ended Handscomb's career.

I wonder how he's done against Johnson + Starc. You'd think he wouldn't enjoy pure out-and-out pace.

 

[stephen]

That was a riskier shot than should have been played.

 

[Spark]

Christ this is nervy. Good from Overton though, clearly getting the most out of the deck.

 

[MW1304]

This is going to be the worst, technically chanceless, hundred ever.

 

[Starfighter]

That's a wagon wheel to behold.

McGrath would have worked him over because he could adjust his length faster than other bowlers. I think length is more important bowling to Handscomb than anything else. Bowl what would be a shorter a half-volley length to a regular batsman and you'll give his a lot of trouble.

Shaun Marsh looked like he had years to play that shot.

 

[Spark]

In fairness, this is what the rest of us thought when Ballance was dominating early on

I mean that's basically Starc's natural length, so I'd be interested in his FC record against Starc in the last 3 or 4 years.
